Guest Reviews

- Kamila (10/5): Best to stay in Corfu - The apartment was big and comfortable. It was very clean. It has cosy balcony, well equipped kitchen, and is located in very good are of the island.
The owner was super kind. We enjoyed our stay. No such thing.
- Marcin (10/5): -
- Gabrielius (10/5): - Gregory is a super host. The apartment was exceptionally clean and very spacious.
- Alexandra (9/5): -
- David (10/5): Great accommodation in central location - Brilliant location in the heart of Benitses. Spacious and well equipped two bedroom apartment. Nothing
- Connelley (8/5): We very much enjoyed our stay at La Soffitta - Great location central to restaurants and the sea You always had to have the light on in the living area
- Melanie-Diana (10/5): Wunderschönes und sehr sauberes Appartement top gelegen - Wir sind zu Dritt angereist und hatten ausreichend Platz in unserem Apartment. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Sauberkeit und auch regelmäßige Reinigung in der Ferienzeit. Das ist ganz wunderbar und man hat tatsächlich Ferien und trotz Appartement den Service eines Hotels. Dankeschön Georgia für Deinen unermüdlichen Einsatz und die wunderbaren Inseltips.
Alles ist sehr gut fußläufig wie Bäcker, Supermarkt und Restaurants erreichbar.
Wir haben auch die schöne Terrasse genutzt. Alles war auch hier immer top gepflegt und sauber.
Wäsche waschen kann man auch wunderbar.
Zum Strand sind es 2-5 min Fußweg. Abhängig zu welchen Strand man möchte.
Der Ort wie auch die Insel ist sehr sicher und das Leben als Tourist ist sehr unkompliziert.
Wir können diese Unterkunft sehr empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Wir reisen jedes Jahr ans Mittelmeer an neuen Orten und fanden dieses Apartment bisher am besten. Alle Fotos entsprechen der Realität und Zustand des Objektes, deshalb stelle ich keine eigenen ein.
Vielen Dank noch mal für die schöne Zeit im La Soffitta.

- Fabienne (10/5): - Super schön. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber und sehr hilfsbereit!
Die Lage ist Top!
Immer wieder gerne.
- Joanne (10/5): Super appartement - Super logement ! Très fonctionnel !
Lits confortables.
3 climatisations : une dans chaque chambre et une dans la pièce à vivre.
Appartement idéalement situé : tous les commerces et restaurants sont à 2 pas.
Super ménage fait par Gogo !
Nous avons passé une belle semaine sur la belle île de Corfou, nous recommandons !
- Maria (9/5): - All great:) Maybe more hangers in the bathroom would be useful
- ELENI (7/5): An overall fine stay - The location was great. Very convenient if you want to explore the island and avoid the traffic that often gets too much in Corfu. The owners were very friendly and helpful.
The accommodation it's self has a nice view and is close to some nice restaurants. Everything inside is new. There is no coffee machine, neither for espresso nor for filter coffee. There is no noise counselling whatsoever. You can hear every step and noise from the attic of the same apartment or the next ones. The apartment would benefit from a sofa because there is no common place for someone to hang besides the kitchen table which it is not very spacious and there is a TV which is not much of a convenience.

- gokceturkyilmaz (10/5): - great location. owners and people working there were very friendly and helpful. everything was great.
- Mark (9/5): Fantastic location and apartment in the heart of Benitses. The hosts were extremely helpful and made my family feel very - Very modern and well planned apartment.
- Sue (9/5): Great central location , good amenities and lovely terraced area - Great location, close to shops and restaurants etc I was assured there was a sea view but the sea was hidden by trees - we had a lovely holiday nonetheless and was a beautiful area
- Fiona (8/5): Very good - We liked the apartment, clean, fresh and modern. There were only 2 of us so we didn't have to use the extra upstairs room.
We liked the small private terrace overlooking the restaurant and the shared bigger terrace was good too. It was very hard to find, signage small and not outside on the street. No reply to email asking for key pick up instructions but when we rang very polite answer and on site so all fine.
- Cezary (10/5): Satisfied guests. - Very clean and comfortable apartament, equipped with everything you need. Met standards and expectations. Local grocerie downstairs. We were fully satisfied .
- Ewa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great: perfect location, all necessary amenities, good contact with the host and easy way to get the keys.
- Barsha (10/5): Amazing staff and service - The staff, the service and the property was so kind and nice! I would definitely recommend. This is the best place ive ever stayed will come and set try over again<3 everything was great
- Maia (10/5): We will come back - Amazing two floors apartment with the view over the main street and the beach. Everything in the apartment is new and it looks exactly as in the photos: spacial, bright, new. We really loved the location as in the inner benitses. Everything is super close. The beach is just 2 min away from the apartment. We were okay with this but maybe some people with finding a bit annoying the smell of the food coming from the restaurants. It doesn't smell inside but only on the terrace.
- Bojan (10/5): One of the best stays in our lives. - The host was super friendly and helpful. The apartment was very spacious and lovely, and it was cleaned every day. They went above and beyond to make our stay nice. We even got coffee for free a few times in their cafe, which I think was very, very nice of them. We even had some car issue(stuck in sand), and the host helped us in that situation. This was one of the best stays in our lives. Nothing.
- Vlad1234567 (9/5): Nice apartment in the centre of Benitses - The apartment's design is nice. The staff is polite and helpful. There are performant AC units in every room to cool off due to high temperatures in Corfu. Location close to the main restaurants and shops. The apartment is not sound proof at all. You can hear a lot of noise from the neighbouring apartments, especially if there are families with kids there.
- Bethany (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful apartments in a perfect location
- Cristina (9/5): Superb -
- Laima (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeaneth (10/5): Excellent apartment - This apartment was excellent, it was right next to the beach and all shops. I would definitely stay here again.
The lady who showed us the apartment was very helpful, she allowed us to check out later as our flight was not until 10pm. Which was very helpful.
I definitely recommend booking here if you're looking to go to Benitses.
- Lisa (8/5): Very good - The location was super convenient and the cleaners were nice and consistent. She even brought us an umbrella for the beach! The patio area was also nice for hanging out. I didn't see any check-in information that someone at the restaurant would bring the keys. It was a little confusing when I arrived.
- Eleanor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (6/5): Two night stay in Benitses - Georgia was lovely and so welcoming. The location is good and is central. The beds were comfortable. The shower pressure is good and the apartment was clean. There isn't a good sea view, the pillows are lumpy, and a smell comes up through the drains in the bathroom. The twin room in the attic has no windows so it's hot and dark but there is an aircon which works well.
- Jennifer (9/5): Beautiful well appointed apartment right in centre of Benitses - Beautiful apartment, everything was immaculately clean, central location in Benitses with restaurants, shops, bus stop, beach and marina all within two minutes walk. Beautiful bathroom, excellent kitchen with everything you can possibly need. Lovely outdoor area with comfy chairs and dining table. Beds very comfortable. Only issue was lack of insulation in the apartment, which meant you can hear everything between the rooms and bathroom. The noise travels, but not a big problem.
- Jacopo (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (10/5): Excellent flat in a perfect setting for a sunny holiday - This was possibly the cleanest accommodation we have ever stayed in in any country including our own. Absolutely spotless. It was cleaned twice during the week we were there. Kudos to Georgia the house keeper, who also gave us many good tips for things to do in Benitses and further afield.
The kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of pots, pans, bowls and utensils, a proper hob and oven and a big fridge with a good sized freezer compartment.
We were able to use a big rooftop area with a 6 place dining table, covered lounging area and a washing machine.
The flat has excellent air conditioning.
There was plenty of wardrobe hanging and drawer space (and good quality wooden hangers) for all our clothes. The dressing table and stool were much appreciated. The double bed with duvet and additional sheet was very comfortable with a firm mattress.
The flat's furnishings will be familiar to anybody who has shopped in Ikea.
Bilis the friendly host (I hope I spelled that right) runs the bar opposite the supermarket on the T-junction. He was very helpful and showed how everything worked.
The instructions for getting the keys could have been clearer, but in the end it was just a case of asking a couple of people. The waitress from the excellent Paxinos restaurant (a few metres from our flat) took us personally to the bar and handed us over to the host.
We really enjoyed ourselves in this northern end of Benitses. It is reasonably, bit not overly, quiet with guests of all ages and types. English is spoken everywhere. There are lots of restaurants selling standard Greek fare to a high quality. There is even a Mexican place. There are also a couple of gyros/döner type places and two excellent bakeries. The people working at these places were unfailingly friendly and kind. There are a couple of good supermarkets and shops selling clothes beachware. We were made to feel very welcome everywhere we went and we look forward to coming back. The southern part of Benitses has a somewhat different atmosphere to the southern part in which we stayed, clearly having seen better days since its mass-tourism heyday, with several sizeable abandoned businesses.
- Elina (10/5): Great seaside village, with modern interior and large terrace. Loved it and would stay again - Amazing town, great apt location, nice interior and fantastic terrace It wasn’t specified that the apt all windows are going to bars and restaurants, but the sound didn’t bother too much. It wasn’t mentioned that the terrace is shared, but none of the guests partied there, so it didn’t bother , as well. We quite enjoyed the shared terrace.
- Natalia (8/5): Very friendly host, stylish, clean apartment. A small balcony that overlooks the taverns. - Clean, quite spacious room, very comfortable beds, good bedding, plenty of space for things. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment, as well as the toilet. very cool shower. Beautiful and stylish interior, TV in every room. A small balcony that opens directly onto the road and, of course, a view of the sea, although it is mostly like that in Benitsis, because the road to Kerkyra passes. there are a large number of cafes immediately under the balcony, in the off-season they are all closed, so it is quite quiet, but if they work, it can be quite loud. if you go on vacation in the off-season, be prepared that everything is closed, except for one store, but this is not for the evaluation of housing.
the apartment is two-level and the second floor has a wooden floor, when someone walks on the second floor it is very loud. During the day, it doesn't matter, but if someone gets up at night, it can be quite unpleasant for people who don't sleep well.
- Kim (9/5): Benitses was a great little town, La Soffitta comfortable & clean & everything we needed. - We arrived quite late, one of Alex’s sons met us to show us to our place. The apartment was easily accessible. There is no parking directly beside the building, but plenty of parking on the street & small lot by sea wall. Apartment was lovely, & Benitses location for us was great since we traveled the whole island with our rental car & it’s is kind of in the middle. There was no coffee maker, only hot water pot & Alex remedied that the very next day. Cleaning staff super helpful & kind, they patiently waited for us to get in and clean our place when we had late starts to our day before heading out to explore. Sadly, Previous renters had broken off the washing machines door, but there was a washing machine available to use down by the boat marina for a small fee. Washer was fixed on our 2nd week. The patio area was so nice, we had most of our meals outside when we cooked at home. We arrived mid October, weather was lovely, a couple days rain, but only lasted sometimes just a couple of hours. Please note, most of the island is seasonal, and shuts down for the winter. Many of the shops had already closed for the season, and all but 1 restaurant in town closed 2 days before left. You can see Alex takes pride in his apartments & also his community. We would definitely stay at La Soffitta again. Thank you Alex for all your help. You Must buy a Sim if you don’t have international cell for directionals. We’ve driven all over Europe & many places in Greece, Corfu was a definite challenge. Streets are in dire need of servicing & many 2 lanes only narrow enough for 1 car in SO many places, lots of pulling over because passing was impossible.
- Cristina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Quincy (8/5): We had a very pleasant stay and would recommend the place to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in Corfu. The hosts were - The property is very modern and comfortable. It was cleaned and fresh towels provided everyday during our stay. The terrace is a fantastic area to relax. It is well located, within a few meters of the beach, restaurants and bus stop. It was lovely to see that the hosts had left us with a bottle of water and orange juice. We also appreciated that Teabags and coffee sachets were provided. The floor boards are very thin and we could hear everytime someone moved in the upstairs bedroom. As the upstairs bedroom is open plan and has no door, conversations taking place there could he heard throughout the apartment.
- Charmaine (10/5): I would 100% recommend staying here! Benitses is lovely! - The apartment was clean, spacious, well appointed and very well located. The shower was great and the bed was comfy. The staff were super friendly (and that also goes for everyone in Benitses!) The kettle was a bit temperamental and didn't always boil properly.
- Katrina (10/5): Exceptional - Georgia!! Such a lovely woman. Gave us tips and cleaned the apartment. She made us feel at home

- James (8/5): Clean and modern apartment in central Benitses, moments from tavernas and the beach - The apartment was clean, modern and in an excellent central location in Benitses. The bars and tavernas are right on your doorstep but you don’t hear the noise from the restaurants (the restaurants at the front seemed to close down around midnight). A great option for staying in Benitses and exploring the south east coast On street parking could be a little tricky at night as it was very busy (late August). Our main gripe was that we could hear the neighbours footsteps from the adjoining apartments which even made the bed vibrate slightly but otherwise this would’ve been a perfect stay. The shower area was very small.
- Helen (7/5): Good -
- Imetovska (9/5): Amazing time - I love the location and access to all restaurants and beaches within short walking distance
- Gregg (9/5): Perfect holiday, perfect location, lovely area with lovely tavernas to choose from. - The property location was in the heart of the action but still quiet enough for us to sleep. The property had all the expected facilities needed for our stay and was cleaned daily, more than we needed. The outside patio was brilliant and allowed us to have a morning coffee or an evening meal outside in the sun. There is little sound insulation between the downstairs and upper second bedroom, so when people move around upstairs or talk you can hear this in the master bedroom. This wouldn't stop us from returning as the property more than makes up for this.
- Morena (10/5): Exceptional - The stay was really enjoyable such a good place location and staff so helpful,highly recommend.
- Quarmby (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Location. Staff exceptional. Friendly. Accommodation 5 star. We will be back. Thank Billis/Gregory and staff for a wonderful week. Nothing ⁸
- Antoaneta (9/5): Superb -
- Katarzyna (10/5): Wonderful - Beautiful location in the center of Benitses. Amazing super friendly and kind staff, the apartment is beautiful and provides all the essential things. My stay was wonderful. Thank you :)
- Herbert (10/5): I would recommend this apartment for couples or small families. - The outstanding service of the cleaners and their guidance with places to go. They kept the apartment immaculate and nothing was too much trouble. The apartment is close to restaurants and cafes and parking is easy. It can be a bit noisy at night with the restaurants but it was still fine as the nights are not late.
- Monika (10/5): Very good choice - Everything! The apartment is beautiful, and cleaning is done daily by a lovely lady who always helps you with a smile. Easy access: The owner of the apartment is very helpful. The apartment is in an amazing location with lots of lovely restaurants right in front of the apartment as well as a stunning beach. Lots of shops around, pharmacy and bus stops. There is nothing not to like!
- Alexandra (8/5): Nice apartment and nice host . - Nice spacious cosy apartment, good mattress , nice location , clean and maintained clean during your stay by cleaning staff . Towels were old and shower had a curtain next to toilet and the toilet was always wet after shower .
- Krista (10/5): Exceptional - Very good location, near bus station, nice restaurants and beach just few minutes walk away.
- Emily (9/5): Great apartment …efficient and friendly staff - Modern and newly renovated. Just like the pictures.
Very efficient staff. They cleaned the apartment every day.
lovely restaurants and mini market just downstairs ( we recommend Loris Taverna ). I didn’t enjoy Benitses very much, but that is just my personal taste. The busy costal road crosses the town and divides the beach from the shops, making it impossible to enjoy the sea without hearing the sound of the cars. But it’s a good starting point, if you have a car/motorbike, to reach some lovely beaches.
- Valeria (10/5): Corfù is a little gem and the accommodation was in a perfect location , not far from the old town and easy to drive arou - perfect location and a lovely property nothing
- Rebecca (10/5): lovely apartment on the front, with great views. - very modern, balcony.

- Fabio (10/5): Nice location, beautiful apartment - Nice location, all facilities very near, PERFECT!
- Aigars (10/5): Great week in Corfu - 1. Great location.
2. Kind, helpful hotel owner.
3. Spacious apartments, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds.
4. Excellent relaxation terrace.
5. There are good taverns nearby, we would like to highlight the owner's cafe "Lotza Cafe" and the tavern "Captain Octopus".
6. A washing machine and an iron were a pleasant surprise.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Toni (10/5): Great apartment, full of comforts and access to a beach within minutes. Highly recommend - We arrived very late and the hosts accommodated this late arrival with a smile and warm welcome. The accommodation is modern with loads of facilities. The shared patio is a lovely way to spend a morning drinking coffee. The bed is comfortable and the shower great. Aircon worked and was quiet. The area is great a short walk to the pebble beach where there are beach umbrellas and loungers. There are restaurants and shops close by. Although it is close to restaurants, the apartment is very quiet and we had no issue with noise. It was lovely, so no complaints. Some thoughts to improve on it. Extra towel hooks would be good and perhaps a sofa in the kitchen dining area, but this is just minor. We will be back if we return to Corfu.
- Mikios400 (9/5): Superb -
- Jaroslaw (10/5): Fantastic place near Corfu Town. - Fantastic place. Everything was superb: cosy room, super clean and nice bathroom, large, fully equipped kirchen (including microwave, dishes and cutlery). The location is amazing, next to grocery shop, restaurants, beach and bus station. The hosts are super nice, very helpful brothers running small restaurant nearby. Thank you guys! We will definitely come back. Everything was perfect.

- Verified traveler (10/5): - The property is in a great location close to the beach, bars and restaurants. It is a great place for a family or group of friends stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We absolutely loved our stay at La Sofitta! The apartment is beautiful, spacious, and looks exactly as in the pictures. The furnishings are brand new and the place feels like a home away from home. Each room has an air conditioning unit which can be regulated individually. There was also a bowl of fresh fruit and some drinks in the fridge to make us feel welcome. The kitchen has everything you could need, even a panini press! Not that you would need it, because there are plenty of restaurants just a few steps from the apartment. The Lotza Café has the best Freddo Cappuccino!
